Plus Chaebol companies (Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SKI, etc.) control the country and the economy. They have special entry exams and who is your family also determines if you can get in.

Consider that just Samsung's business supposes 20% of South Korea's GBP.

SK is the closest we get to Cyberpunk.

Xcom, xcom2, baldur's gate 3, heroes of m&m, darkest dungeon, The Banner Saga, Age of Wonders, like a dragon, Divinity, etc..

I wouldn't call it niche as some games made more than 50M, but also the market has so many games, few will always fall through the cracks.

Thank you for your service

Well, your mom sounds relentless.

If someone steal my kidneys, then probably they need them more than I do.

Is Jesus from Namek then?

Every Sunday I wondered why does the creator of everything that has existed as long as the universe exists went through so much work just to hear me sing how great it is.

Maybe it is a kind of dragon ball situation and us singing gives it power?

I do agree with you, if it didn't sound like it. But the problem IMO is lack of investment on GUI (notwithstanding all the amazing work the Plasma and Gnome team are doing).

If public entities moved their MS license money to buy Linux desktop OS support instead, that would probably solve this issue, while creating another 3 :).

Last time I used Windows as my OS was Windows 2000. I went through multiple things (BeOS, Suse Linux (I think before opensuse), rhl, FreeBSD, ubuntu...) until I landed on MacOS.

But all the bullshit Apple did to unify tablets with laptops and their lack of thorough with git, opengl, etc.. and all their problems with package distributions and their "appstore" made me switch back to Linux.

I searched for the most Linux friendly laptop on the market and bought a Thinkpad X1 Carbon.
Then spent the first month trying making my microphone work or my audio not crack by learning a ton of Alsa/Pulseaudio.

IMO Linux works well when you ace the hardware choice.

That's me spending 30 minutes trying to figure out how to change hotkeys in Windows, being told that I need to install an "application", realizing said application can moonlight as a keylogger so I end up uninstalling the whole thing and using proton/VMs instead.

Either that or requiring some esoteric registry changes that are gibberish but supposed to do what I'm looking for.

And that's without even dipping our toes into PS.

I might get lynched by my reply but coding a functionality for GUI rather than command line is way harder and more labor consuming as it adds an additional layer that is very very thin in a CLI.

We could blame the GTK vs. QT rivalry, but I think it's more of a user coding something they need and doing it the way its less work/more comfortable for them.

Consider that there's a wide range of Linux developers that prefer tiling desktops that only rely on keyboards, not mouse. Even, there's a Linux Window Manager called Ratpoison.

Mature as a server os or as a desktop os?

I've got a server running for 15 years straight with minimum changes beyond security patching.

For desktop though it can be a bag of mixed results: Casual users that I've convinced using Linux had been over the moon with it, their computers "just work".

Power users though, they have an incredibly hard time as they try matching functionalities with other OS but do not want to rely heavily on terminals and setting files.

The problem for this last group is that the desktop developers are mostly users, and they are comfortable with terminals.

In my own experience, the problems I had with desktop Linux are mostly drivers (spent a week learning how alsa/pulseaudio works).

My second, and most common problem is updates that break some functionality.
If I can detect it right away, no problem as I can revert it, but if it's something I only use occasionally, then I'll spend some quality time debugging.

So it wasn't just me.

It's like that made up rule for scotus nominations that they requested Obama to follow then later did whatever they pleased with Trump..

Not a fan.

The informed and the uniformed.

Instant reaction for my neurons as well: Dubai, flying cars, lack of mass transportation. Bingo.

Neither does Chicago or Detroit.

And while SLC and San Francisco have some rough areas, there are a lot of high quality services and perks of living there (if you can afford it).

Sadly, Memphis doesn't surprise me.

EDIT: Funny to see Boulder being on the #4 as best places to live while Denver is on this list.

It is though one effective way of increasing public transportation usage.

EDIT: If I see this converted in a news article.....

It depends on your subscription level, as a congressman he has recovery premium plus: which includes a notification when the vehicle is retrieved, cleaning and detailing, and they'll bring it to your house.
